switching effects added. If black screen and/or mute audio is selected for the
program output, it is deselected when a cut is selected.
Dissolve button — Pressing the Dissolve button causes the ISS to switch the
input selected as the preview output to the program output using the dissolve
effect. If black screen and/or mute audio is selected for the program output,
it is deselected when a dissolve is selected.

Input label panel — This translucent panel can be removed and replaced to
insert a label behind the panel. To remove the panel, insert the Philips-head
end of an Extron Tweeker or small Philips-head screwdriver into the hole in
one end of the panel, and gently slide the tab on the edge of the panel out of
the recess in the switcher housing.
Input labels can be created easily with Extron’s button label generator
software, which is shipped with every Extron ISS, or with any Brother®
P-Touch™ labeler. Each input can be labeled with names, alphanumeric
characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output
selection (figure 3-3). See chapter 5, “Switcher Software”, for details on using
the label software.
